Oh man! This is getting comical. Since I live in Sweden every event starts when I all ready have hit the sack and I start six hours behind. This time the event starts 9 pm here in Sweden and I have allready used up all my energy. Good thinking Gree but unfortunatly I stumbled on my own feet here:rolleyes: Never mind, love me some more events! Picks up bow and goes hunting.

Got thru 18 with a refill and a lvl up half way thru the second bar. Seems pretty easy thus far.

It started at 3am here! This is the first time I've triggered a LTQ at the start. It usually takes 12 to 24 hrs after it begins to pop up in my goals.

that's ok, be my guest, the more info we have the more we can plan ahead... :-)

Yes, that is true, but this would be the 1st time Gree/Funzio has switched from using a USA format of MM/DD/YYYY in a KA splash screen. Using a DD/MM/YYYY (like most of Europe does) would go against their previous history of Gree/Funzio announcements.

Hello

I would like to thank Nacom 10 for starting this thread.
I used the information provided by Nacom 10, MeowMix and sleazius to create a Spreadsheet for this.

Please help complete it make sure to add your name as a contributer :)

I noticed in heroic mode that the units are the same names as the units from the non-heroic mode. How does that work? Are their two units with independent stats, or does heroic mode upgrade the stats of the non-heroic units? Hopefully My question makes sense.

And as this being "less" worth completing than the last LTQ, I'm just happy they keep giving me reasons to play. Having spent some gems, how boring would it be to complete an LTQ but have no reason to play the game afterward?

One thing that took me a while to notice was that you can save a lot of time if you do the bottom quest first.

The following quests always bring you back to the map before, so if you want to save time, just start on the lower quest, finish it, then go to the higher quest and finish that. Then, the next quest will have you kill the same monster on the same map you are already on again.

Can you say that again. I don't follow.

VVolf

03-03-2013, 06:17 AM

Can you say that again. I don't follow.

Sorry, so each part of the quest (except the first) has 2 components, requiring you to kill 2 different types of units, lets just say monster A and monster B. Well, if quest X is to kill 3 monster A's and 1 monster B, then the following quest (quest Y) will require you to kill 3 monster C's and 1 monster A.

So, if in quest X, you kill monster B first, and then kill monster As, you don't need to change maps, because quest Y will start immediately, and you will have to kill another monster A.

Not a huge tip, but it saves time from having to change maps all the time.

On part 14/26, so far pretty easy, able to one-hit everything. I expect that to change in the next step or two. Wonder if I have a shot at finishing this without gems, since this is obviously aimed at low level players.

GreenGuru

03-03-2013, 08:52 AM

It seems their new method of solving the units left over from LTQ problem is by starting each new part of the quest with killing 1 unit of the previous part lol, such a ghetto rigged way of dealing with the problem. It's pretty funny

With just under five days... Shouldn't be a problem. I'm level 64 and 64 hero strength with Cupid's bow; I too hope it isn't bad near the end. The last LTQ wasn't even too hard, just the ice dragon, really. Had I started on time and not two days late, I would have completed heroic mode. Can't imagine this being harder than that.

You got that far on the last quest without using gems at only 64 Hero Strength? I can see it with gems, but not without. I have almost 3 times your HS (174, though no Cupid's Bow, my weapon is 58 max), and without gems I got to finish the Ice portion and finished 9/10 on Fire and got the 10/10 Fire boss down halfway. I just don't see your HS getting through Heroic when starting 2 days late unless you used a fair amount of gems. Impressive either way, though! You should definitely do well in this quest.

I stayed up way too late making sure to hit every refill (when I saw those rewards!) and use my 17 stamina every hour to get more xp. Have a newborn at home anyhow, so I was up quite a bit and have access to the game during the day. But I started at level 54 so I got quite a few level ups as a free refill. I did tapjoy for about forty worth if I'm not mistaken, and I did have about 80 from daily gem hoarding (but honestly I spent those only to get the last couple fire and ice quests in heroic mode last night) Actually, I leveled up to 64 today, so quite a few levels nonetheless in the past week. My average hit is about 165-225. Dunno if that makes more sense. The ice dragon took me a whole day, so there was no hope of getting that last night without a ton of gems. My iPads alarm clock for the win.

I'd be surprised if you can finish it without gems. The heroic portion is much harder, and after level 18 or so every mob was taking a full energy refill to take down. The level 26 mobs have 6806 hit points, and take off 184 energy per hit. You have to kill three of those, plus one mob from the previous round.

Ah I see. How you doing on this quest so far?

I'm pissed I didn't get that Cupid's Bow. I was stuck on 9 for over 2 days, opening literally 20 per day, as well as an extra day into overtime. Close to 60 gold opens after 9, no luck. Was livid. Ah well, guess I have to wait for the next uber weapon.

I got my first nine tokens/medals by the second day, then went twenty-five chests without a single drop. I understand that frustration.

I am one hit away from finishing twenty-two. Not sure how heavy hitting the last boss is, but I am hoping to be heroic by tomorrow afternoon. Should give me time to finish, I hope.

Is the heroic harder than the first time through? More energy? More hit points.

I finished the normal mode and about three or four events into the heroic mode. It looks if you just pay due diligence you can just about finish both modes without resorting to gem refills. only time will tell but the monsters do get harder in heroic mode. It would also depend on your weapon and hero strength. my HS is around 164 and (i hate to say it cuz so many didnt get it) but i use the cupids bow. Still this one is not impossible to complete no matter what kind of player you are.

Is it just me or many of this LTQ units have gross name? How can i normal "rat" have such stats? ;)

Yeah, it bothers me too. A rat has two and half times the attack stats of my dragons, and a heroic rat is over ten times. Sure the ingame content doesnt have to make enough sense to hold up in a royal commission, but that is just plain stupid.

I just got onto 26/26 normal, half way through the yeti and close to a level (hopefully that full bar of energy will kill at least 1 zombie...)

I have 84 HS and weapon is temple spear (54 attack)

open the quest log, click the quest and click 'visit' next to the task. this should take you directly next to the monster to kill. you do not have to kill other monsters to make it appear.

if it doesnt show, exit and re-open the app

if still no luck, uninstall and re-install the app

if your still having no luck send a contact form into GREE

To those thinking you can finish the heroic part without gems you can't.

This LTQ is designed to throw free players a bone by giving them some heroic units, but you won't get the top prize unfortunately without spending gems.

nice of someone to put a realistic blow on everyones dreams!

and thats not even taking into account the units hitting back!

Hopefully i may get to around part 10 heroic though

Similar to most I guess: I'm on 23/26 and play free. Haven't used a gem but did have the benefit of two lvl ups for new bars of energy. I've got 89 to hero strength and am using the all-powerful, Temple Spear! All you that one the Bow were fooled into thinking it was THE weapon, but alas, no! It's truly this weapon,the spear! WOW! I'm so thrilled to have the Temple spear! WOW! :rolleyes:

Can you taste the sarcasm?

Taking two or three hits now on heroic mode. Have got to seven of heroic without any gems. Not getting much harder at the moment. Third hit is always like 15 damage... Sometimes 1 damage...

Units getting far better. Up to 74 hero damage, Cupid's bow and hitting more or less at the 195 mark. Seem to be lucky tonight. Ready to turn a level soon and let it fill back up over night.

Like it was said, doesn't look possible without gems. Last event was far more worthy of gem spending, IMHO. Not sure if I will bite this time.

It's 85 attack and 130 defense. Yes it's a hero weapon.

I think all these new pve LTQs are designed so that LLPs get some nice units, hourly players with decent stats can finish normal mode and if you want to finish heroic mode for the top unit then you must spend some gems.

Woohoo. This is the best I've ever done on one of these events. Already at 24/26, having 1/1 and 1/3 done in it. I'm glad I started sinking all of my skill points into HS for the past about 10 lvls. It's really helped.

I would like to thank Nacom 10 for starting this thread.
I used the information provided by Nacom 10, MeowMix and sleazius to create a Spreadsheet for this.

PM me if interested or Click on banner below and apply at our website.

Awesome spreadsheet. Thanks for putting in the work. You even went through the trouble to add in some color. Too cool.

Same here. Was trying for 5.5 days with OT trying to get the 10th arrow. Never made it. Guess just have to move on, but until I can get something better than a Cupid's Bow, it still rackles. Still also waiting for some response from Support on the tickets I sent to them.
Glad to know I wasn't the only one in a similar boat. Though from what I've seen, I didn't have it as bad as some. I didn't spend nearly as much gems as some others that didn't get it. So when are those of us without the bow rising up to thrash those who did get it? lol

At least the shiver bow from the bards quest is okay consolation. Not quite the cupids bow, but hot-knifing through buttery bad guys all the same. Almost makes me forget about the 45 boxes that didnt have the tenth arrow in them.
Shiver bow would have been a decent consolation prize, if I would have made it that far. Damn my bad luck. lol

Only your most powerful mobs affect your A/D. So let's assume you can take 100 units into battle, and the 100th unit has stats of 50/50. If you buy/win a unit with less that 50/50, then it will not change your A/D score. the additional unit needs stats greater than 50/50 to replace the weakest one taken into battle. If you increased your ally count, likely the weakest unit would have lower stats and then your new unit would be having an impact. Hope that helps.

I thought I was only one frustrated with the difficulty of all the drops in these LTE's lately. I was stuck at 8/10 for 2 days and gave up after 250 gems and no arrow. I'm a HS 141 with the temple spear and still waiting forever it seems to refill at 24/26 on normal mode. I hope to get through the normal mode by tomorrow night at rate their hits are draining my energy. I refuse to spend any more money on my Iphone account since I've yet to receive explaination as to why my 3GS can't earn any free gems but my wifes Ipad seems to earn 5-10 a day on the latest update for both devices.

As far as the Tapjoy.com portion of your question on an IOS device if install the TapJoy App all the apps that are in partnership with Tapjoy that are installed on the device will show up with option to complete offers to earn free gems. Some are free but most you end up spending money on offer to get the free gems or expose your email for "free quotes" and get spammed with tons of other offers once your email address is sold couple of times. It is not a bad way to earn free gems but I find it useless unless you really are interested in the products the offers are selling.

In regards to the clearing out the map portion to a level 5. Each time clear a map get a different reward. A level 5 you get an indestructible unit regardless of how many points you attribute to army attack or army defense when you level up. The way the community has answered the points distribution of the level up bonuses the general idea is as follows:

Energy increases automatically so is not affected by how distribute your points.
Army attack is a hidden bonus not viewable by others when you attack other players
Army defense is a hidden bonus not viewable by others when fending off other players that "invade" then look at profile and see if they can successfully win based on what is viewable. Funzio states that these 2 options add mystery to the PVP attacks.

Stamina is just that ... how many times you can either attack or invade another player.

Hero Strength is damage against single opponent monsters. The generally accepted idea is that if trying to level up or do well in these LTE the higher the HS (Hero Strength) the better off you are since it will take less energy to kill the "enemy" so can get futher each time before have to wait on your energy to refill.

I hope that clears up what you were asking.

I hope that clears up what you were asking.

Just to flesh out what he said about attack and defense skill points, the skinny is that nobody here knows exactly how they work. Only Gree knows, and they aren't telling. But we got it from a source inside that it kind of works like this:

First your raw attack score gets calculated. I'm assuming you know how this works, it's relatively simple and elsewhere on these forums. Lets assume you have 100k raw attack.

Same for opponents raw defense score. Lets assume they have 100k raw defense.

Second, a random percentage multiplier. We are assuming from our source that this multiplier can range from -50% to +50%. So your attack score gets randomly multiplied by (pick a number from thin air) -25%. The defenders score gets a different(!!!) random multiplier. Lets say he gets +5%. Your attack score is now 75k, his defense is 105k.

Now, those juicy skill points. Our source straight up said they were percentage based. So lets just say each skill point gives you a 1% boost. You've invested 100 skill points into attack. This brings your effective score up to 150k attack.

The defender has chosen, after reading these forums; that defense skill points are useless, and has only allocated 25 points into defense. His score is now ~127k.

150k>127k. You win his bd10 money, he cries.

Moral of the story : no skill points are ever "wasted". Learn how things work, preferably from the source.

I'm not saying HS points are bad either; don't flame me. But all of the points have their, well, good points. No pun intended.

Edit: this is not an attack on the previous poster, just a clarification.

My my, this is some juicy information to be had.

If I'm correct, you're saying that Army A/D skill points are actually percentage boosts? Is this only when the two players are otherwise "tied" for stats, or does it factor in always as a variable? If it's confined to these rare stat-stalemates, ok then. But if it factors in constantly, why wouldn't they just add it to raw attack like other similar bonuses/boosts?

Thank you for that explanation Shinazueli! I just couldn't find anyone who could give me this type of information so I had to ask.

I agree that the skill points should be known. We should be able to develop our kingdoms properties to what we have interest in. Such as, for those how are Tamers of the Dragons, the offensive attributes are great, but the defensive falls short by about 40% or so, so it wouldn't be likely that someone who is raising these beasts (I've heard they're mischievous!) would want to direct more points towards the defensive side to help balance the attack out, no?

Thanks again!

Your premise is incomplete. You want to stack more heavily towards defense in any case, regardless of how-to-tame-your-dragon status. This is because you always have control over whom you attack, so you can choose to only fight battles that you already have a high likelihood of winning. The same cannot be said on defense. Hence, most players will want to stack more defense than offense. The only exception would be gem players, because nobody can attack them anyway.

Also, just in the off chance that someone from Gree actually reads this: sharing the formula for how attack and defense skill points work won't "remove the mystery" from pvp. We would just like to know so we can do our maths. We still won't know how many points our victi...er, opponents have allocated, so the mystery will remain. We would just be happier. And it's free! I hear companies like solutions that make their customers happy and are free, but what do I know...

Gree/Funzio is a company. Companies like to make money (they have employees to pay, electric bills, etc). You can play any of their games for free; but they make their money through us buying gems. So yes they try to do what they can to get us to buy gems. All of these quest events have two parts: regular and heroic. So in the future you will know that you need to finish both to get the main prize.

That being said you probably up'd your stats quite and bit and hopefully didn't spend any more money then you would have by buying a PS3 or Xbox game. The way I see it if you have invested 60 or more hours in this game then it is worth at least the $60 you'd spend on a console game.

So don't be so sad; be happy! You're stronger and you've supported the game so they can continue to improve it.

I beat the 26 quests of the codex after spending gems for the 1st time only to find there is a second level I would have to go through. **** Funzio - bunch of greedy ba$tards that they are. This is the last time I spend any money on their game. They could have had a recurring spender. But that is definitely not happening now.

Try to read the forum regularly, every post here is useful and you may know there have II part in earlier stage if read

This is the best quest chain in AGES. Some great drops, achievable by free players. I'm up to 8/26 in heroic - completely without using gems - but so tempted to buy some just to get a few more of these heroic mobs before the end

You definitely need to read up on the forums. If you are not level 85ish and have something like Cupid you will have to spend. And thats if you are near optimum for energy use (ie less riposte energy burns from mobs). At 15/26 Heroic level 67 with Cupid but based on simple math if I optimize I am not going to get much past 19. And given how low my recharge is per gem purchase I am going to have a tough decision to make...

1,5 more mobs to kill at 11/26 H mode, hope ill make it :P You wont even be close unless you are level 150+. Simply not enough energy left to regen vs damage need to be done. Good luck anyways :)

How far everyone is reached?

Completely free, just finishing up level 17 H. Doesn't really seem worth gems to me. I used my daily 20 gems so far each day, but it is not really worth a gem purchase IMHO. I wish I had done more gems on the last LTQ though. Mind you, I have over 150 gems just from tapjoy over the past few days. I don't think the price to troop is worth it. These troops are barely cracking 1100 attack or defense in the twenties. Maybe I'm spoiled... Anyone want to disagree with me and help me spend those gems burning a hole in my pocket?

Im on level 12/26 in herioc mode - not spent a gem but did get a full re-charge for a level up. That with being locked out of the event for a couple of hours because the monster would not spawn after killing two!!! ticket to gree still awaiting a response.
11 hours to go guys. so i might just get to level 13. thinking of blowing my 20 gems from today on making sure are the next monster have a 800+ defense.
In the last LTQ's i have gained nearly 30K in attack and defence units... got to love LTQ's

I'll call it quits after I just cleared 14/26 (H). If it would be a weekend, I'd probably make also the next one, but that would require playing most of the remaining 11h. I spent 20 gems immediately when the event started, was out of energy after the bards tale. That was wise, I got a good start with the low level enemies in one go. Now waiting if the next one starts immediately when this closes with full energy. :)

Your premise is incomplete. You want to stack more heavily towards defense in any case, regardless of how-to-tame-your-dragon status. This is because you always have control over whom you attack, so you can choose to only fight battles that you already have a high likelihood of winning. The same cannot be said on defense. Hence, most players will want to stack more defense than offense. The only exception would be gem players, because nobody can attack them anyway.

Also, just in the off chance that someone from Gree actually reads this: sharing the formula for how attack and defense skill points work won't "remove the mystery" from pvp. We would just like to know so we can do our maths. We still won't know how many points our victi...er, opponents have allocated, so the mystery will remain. We would just be happier. And it's free! I hear companies like solutions that make their customers happy and are free, but what do I know...

You've made a good and valid point! As I was uncertain how these points worked, I've tried keeping a balance. Believing this strategy has merit, I'm going to push heavier towards defense now. Thank you!

To the other posts about reading the forums; They couldn't be more true! Even veteran players will learn something new most days because someone who doesn't know something will ask and then,well, there you are; information passes on! We all gain knowledge!

I do too, I just don't have the money to spend on gems. Good thing they give some free ones though, so I can get some good stuff.

I am working really had to learn all I can from you all to minimize my gem use.

Best advice regarding minimum gem usage is to wait until the tail end of the event so that way you can use as much free energy as possible and the bare minimum of gems. You do have to make sure you give yourself enough time at the end, though. I imagine it would be very aggravating to have enough gems to finish an LTQ but not finishing it because you waited too long.
